How to Relieve Heat Rash Naturally

Heat rash is a bright red, painful rash that you get when sweat gets trapped in your skin instead of coming out of your pores. It is sometimes called "prickly heat" because it feels like someone is sticking needles into your flesh. You can treat heat rash with natural remedies. Read on to learn how to treat heat rash naturally.

Things You'll Need

• Foods rich in essential fatty acid
• 30c of Sol
• 4 oz. of minced fresh root of yellow dock
• 2 cups of water
• Cornstarch
• 1 cup baking soda
• Vitamin C supplement
